Two sides of one cauldron - painting and pottery from the same mischievous minds.
Foxes with crowns, wolves with secrets, ducks in top hats. My art conjures a world of whimsy, queer myth, and Southern sparkle. Come in - the council is waiting.
Mike Lasley Art
Step into a queer little cauldron of clay and chaos, where cups are cast, spells are whispered, and every piece tells a story. The Kiln of Cups & Chaos is a witchy, southern ceramics studio conjuring handmade magic for your everyday rituals.
The Kiln of Cups & Chaos
Meet the makers behind the magic.
Mike, Wilson, & Bonnie
At the heart of The Kiln of Cups & Chaos are three creators bound by love, laughter, and a mutual disregard for staying clean while making art.
Mike is the primary maker and dreamer - a southern queer artist who stirs equal parts color, clay, and chaos into everything he creates. His visual art and ceramics share one mission: to find the magic hiding in everyday life (and give it a little sparkle).
Wilson brings gentle humor, endless curiosity, and a healthy dose of Gemini energy to the studio. From tiny frogs to floral vases, his work leans playful, whimsical, and a bit mischievous…much like him.
Bonnie, our four-legged sparkle princess, supervises every project with unbothered grace. She’s the muse, mascot, and occasional model for new pieces - proof that chaos is best balanced with naps and snacks.
Together, we conjure a space where art, clay, and magic blend into one ongoing creative spell.
